Noboru
Ryuichi’s ‘Killing Time’ is a fast-paced thriller set in 2136, when
both the civilian and prison populations have spawned out-of-control,
leaving the prison system to turn to time travel. Unfortunately, one
cunning serial killer figures out how to use time travel to further his
own agenda.

Society
may have survived the end of the Mayan calendar, but potential disaster
may still loom in the future. Author Noboru Ryuichi’s science fiction
thriller, Killing Time,
paints an unsettling picture of 2136 that may be fiction, but has roots
in some very real, non-fiction problems that society needs to address,
including overpopulation and an overcrowded prison system.

In Killing Time,
both have grown exponentially, and the situation is out-of-control.
Although prisoners had been sent to deserted islands leading up to
2136, this solution is no longer possible. Thanks to medical advances,
people are living longer and reproducing more. Every square inch of
land has been claimed by the population, including the deserted islands.

In
order to address the problem, the prison system must seek unique
solutions to their threatening problem. They begin using time travel to
send special officers back in time to determine which event in their
lives sealed their fate and set them on a path of criminal behavior and
attempt to alter their path, precluding them from becoming prisoners.

At
first, this solution works well for them. Unfortunately, one prisoner
sees it as a way to further his evil ends. The world’ most notorious
serial killer, Timothy Duvey, begins manipulating time travel. Now,
Special Officer Laden Kinkaid is charged with the task of locating Duvey
and returning him to 2136. If he fails, Duvey potentially stands to
take over the world.

It
is a fast-paced thrill ride that readers will find impossible to put
down. What makes the story even more compelling is its roots in
problems that society will, undoubtedly, face in the future, if the
general population and prison population continue to grow. For anyone
who enjoyed Minority Report, Killing Time is a must-read.Noboru Ryuichi
